According to transfer experts, Liverpool made a club-to-club approach to discuss a record bid for Isak. If the deal falls through, the club may consider signing another player, such as Ekitike. Newcastle has been keen to retain Isak, offering him a new deal and stating that they do not intend to sell him.

Journalists have confirmed that Liverpool has expressed interest in signing Isak, a 25-year-old Sweden international, in a deal worth around £120M. However, Newcastle has not received a formal bid and has made it clear that they are not willing to sell Isak.

The potential transfer would likely have significant implications for Liverpool's squad, with Darwin Nunez potentially departing the club. Meeting financial rules would be a challenge for the club, which has already spent over £300M in a short period.

Isak has been a key player for Newcastle, scoring 62 goals in 109 appearances. Liverpool has been interested in signing him for some time, and it appears that the club is now in a strong position to make this move a reality.

Manager Arne Slot may soon bring in the Swedish international, who would be eager to join Liverpool ahead of the new campaign.
